Euro 2024: All you need to know about the knockout stages

The group stage of Euro 2024 is now officially complete. That means we now have a couple of days of rest before the really exciting stuff begins as the knockout stage starts with the Round of 16 this Saturday.

Here is the confirmed Euro 2024 bracket showing each nation's path to the final:



On Superbru, you continue making predictions just as you have been throughout the group stage with points working in exactly the same way, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

Is extra time included in Superbru predictions?

Yes. If a match goes to extra time because the score is level after 90 minutes + injury time, the game will remain live on Superbru and any goals scored in extra time will be included.

Example: You've picked Germany 2-1 Denmark. The game ends 1-1 in normal time but Germany then score an extra time goal to win 2-1. The score will be recorded as 2-1 on Superbru and players that picked Germany will receive points. Players who picked a draw on Superbru will not receive any points.

What if a match goes to penalties?

If a match goes all the way to a penalty shootout, the game will be considered a draw on Superbru. This means that you should only pick a draw for a knockout game if you believe the match will go all the way to penalties.

Since a penalty shootout is considered a tie-breaker by major tournaments simply to find a winner after the game has been drawn, the match is considered over on Superbru before penalties are taken with players who picked the draw receiving points.

If you pick a team to win and they only go through on a penalty shootout, you will not receive points.

Schedule

Each round is now separated by a couple of days to give players time to recover between each knockout game, which makes things a bit less relentless for Superbru players but also makes it slightly easier to miss deadlines when we're out of the daily rhythm.

The knockout stage begins on Saturday at 18:00 local time (5pm UK) with Switzerland vs. Italy in Berlin. Germany will then take on Denmark at 21:00 local time (8pm UK) and all remaining matches in the tournament will be in one of those two kick-off slots which means no more 2pm UK deadlines.

Good luck with your predictions during the knockout stage!
